Police state perfected
Loyal spooks in charge, time to repress the libs. Decapitated bodies without organs.
With the EU unwilling to support ex-defense minister Mikhailo Fedorov, there’s no need for Zelensky to reverse his July 15 decision to get rid of the minister, popular among Ukraine’s pro-western civil society. Despite Fedorov’s remarkable press conference two days ago, railing against head of the army Oleksandr Syrsky, he’s now a political corpse.
The liberal nationalist media, anti-corruption NGOs, and sundry other affiliates of the Open Society Foundation and USAID — the so-called ‘Sorosites’ — are aggressively displaying their support for Fedorov and opposition to Syrsky, but to no avail. They keep on putting out material about the murders and torture prevalent in units Syrsky created and curated, with deserters and retreaters executed. A body in a forest, decapitated and without internal organs. The army said it was suicide.
Some soldiers and former officers aligned with the liberals have come out against Syrsky. But on Syrsky’s side are the commanders of the two Azov Corps, the most powerful, respected, and ideologically extreme sections of the Ukrainian army. The self-proclaimed ‘White Fuhrer, Andrii Biletsky, supports General Syrsky, and Zelensky gave him a prestigious award yesterday for his efforts. Lower-level troops expressing their support for Fedorov and opposition to Syrsky are being threatened by army command.
Meanwhile, Syrsky held a secret meeting with Zelensky’s supposedly resigned chief of staff Andrii Yermak, showing the continued omnipotence of the Ukrainian deep state. With Fedorov gone and the EU relatively nonplussed, Zelensky is likely to restart the campaign he started in July 2025 — a final solution of the Sorosite problem, the liquidation of the anti-corruption structures. He’s tired of the anti-corruption organs constantly bringing charges against his ‘Family’, whether Yermak or anyone else.
And Zelensky has just the man for the job — Oleksandr Poklad, alias ‘the Strangler’, once an imprisoned mobster, then the main government assassin, and now, the new head of the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU). Zelensky, Yermak, and the rest of their ‘Family’ is not willing to depart the stage under the increasingly insistent blows of corruption probes.
